In the small town Punxsutawney, Penn., a critter by the name of Phil will determine if we’ll all have to endure six more weeks of brutal winter weather. You can tune in to see if celebrity groundhog Punxsutawney Phil catches a glimpse of his shadow on the live stream below.

If Phil does happen to cast and see a shadow, that means there will be six more weeks of winter. So here’s hoping the furry little creature doesn’t see a likeness of himself on the ground, though I doubt Mother Nature will hold off on the 8 to 14 inches of snow  expected this weekend.

Watch Punxsutawney Phil’s Groundhog Day Live Stream at around 7:25 a.m. ET Here.

In 2014, Phil did happen to see his shadow and while the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says his forecasts are “on average, inaccurate,” Boston received about 9 inches of snow from one February 2014 winter storm.

And Phil may not even emerge from the warmth of his shelter to look for his shadow. Rather, he’s motivated by something more primal.

Stam Zervanos, emeritus professor of biology at Penn State Berks, in Reading, told National Geographic “At this time of year, males emerge from their burrows to start searching for the females. The females come out probably seven days later and stay just outside of their burrow or maybe just inside their burrow.”
